Gerard Hoet Biography

(b Zaltbommel, Gelderland, 22 Aug 1648; d The Hague, 2 Dec 1733). Painter, draughtsman and writer. He trained with his father and with Warnard van Ryssen (b c. 1625; fl c. 1664), a pupil of Cornelis van Poelenburch. In 1672 Hoet moved to The Hague, then to Paris; after a year he returned to the northern Netherlands via Brussels. He settled in Utrecht, where he founded a drawing academy in 1697 with Hendrick Schoock (fl 1669–96). From 1714 Hoet resided in The Hague. He depicted mainly religous, mythological or Classical subjects set in landscapes, which were painted on a small scale in the style of van Poelenburch, but he also produced larger works, often with many figures, in an elegant, classicizing style. Examples of this decorative painting are his ceiling and wall paintings at the castle of De Slangenburg at Doetinchem. Hoet also painted portraits and some genre pieces. His book on drawing, with 103 prints by Pieter Bodart (fl early 18th century), was published in 1712. Hoet also designed many illustrations for bibles.
